The Giver 1

The world has to be kept at peace by having no memories of the past to keep order in the world while there is only one that should know so that he or she may lead and share the memories once the time has come. The Giver in this story is the former receiver who received the memories from the Giver before him, now he gives the memories to the new receiver. If everyone in the world knew about all of the pain emotions that once existed then no order could be maintained. One must only have all memories until it is time for every one to know.
